I can give it a try but I don't think I'll be better on explaining than ~Keyoto~...
If you have a character/pet or something you just want a piece of art of, that you have not made yourself, you can pay an artist to do it for you. Here on CS you are not alowed to pay with real money. However, you can pay with CS pets, items, CS $ or something else the artist wants.
An art trade is when you pay the artist, in this case ~Keyoto~, with your own art. So basically you ask them to draw something for you and in return you draw something for them.
In the first post on this thread you can find links to the characters ~Keyoto~ want's art of, the rules, forms and such.
When doing an art trade. Always read the rules carefully before you post your form.
Let me show you how a form works (just in case), it might help to explain a bit more. Here is the forms ~Keyoto~ wants you to use (they can be found in the first post of this thread):
This form is if you have a character you want to have art of:
Username: Here you put your username.
Character you want to do: Here you'll tell which character you want to draw for ~Keyoto~. (Again, those can be found in the first post). He (?) have listed those wich he want art of there so just simply go there and pick one you want to draw.
Character you want me to do: Here you put the character you want ~Keyoto~ to draw. Most artists requires a referance image of it. Also, the personality and such facts is often appreciated.
Animal your character is: Here you write what kind of animal the character is. Such as cat, dog, wolf, bunny, wherewolf, horse, human for example.
Other: Here you can write if there is anything else you want to say.
The other form is if you want the ~Keyoto~ to create you a character. This can be used if you don't have any characters yet or if you just simply want a new character.
Username: Here you put your username.
Character you want to do: Here you'll tell which character you want to draw for ~Keyoto~. (Again, those can be found in the first post). He (?) have listed those wich he want art of there so just simply go there and pick one you want to draw.
Colors you want me to use(You don't have to be specific): Here you can put colors you want him to use. For example you may want a black and white character or you may dislike or like neon colors or you may want a character with natural colors.
Inspiration(Music,( I will not listen to Ke$ha Songs) Pictures, ect.)(Please make sure links work): Here you can put something he can use for inspiration. It can be a cool image you like, a beautiful song with the feeling you want your character to have. Use your imagination.
Preferred Species: The species you would like your character to be/species you like. For example: feline or caninne, penguin or whatever you like.
Other: Here you can write if there is anything else you want to say.
Oh, and if you don't know what a character is, I'll try to explain it shortly. It is an animal, person, creature or something else, that you own. It is usually digital only, however some people base their characters on pets they own in real life.
Characters are used different by different people. Some just keep them because it is fun and they like to make and buy art of them. They can also be used in roleplays and as fursonas. And much more.
Also, a fursona is a character that represents you. I'll not go in and explain that further here.
Let me show you the character Keyoto designed for me. It'll hopefully give you an idea about what a character is.
Here is the original art of him. Here is his thread where you can find out more about him. Personality and such.
Wow, good job at explaining it all.Oh and by the way I am a girl.I think that if it was my first time art trading again this would acctually help me out. So thank you for explaining this.
Oh and the form you posted, I will start on my part later today posibly. I have 2 other art I need to get to before art trades though. Hope that is ok.
Thank you! ^^
Oh, sorry about that xD I don't know why I thought of you as a guy... Maybe because your fursona is male...

And yes, that's perfectly fine c: I'm not done yet either. Take your time, and don't get stressed, finnish the other ones first if you want to. I completly understand the preassure of being an artist c:
